I had the time lately to give Blinky the love it deserves, so I added some stuff and produced the 0.8 release v0.8 handles better the computer redrawing, has -v (or --version) command line argument, features an enhanced option window and forces it to open only once, and generally is a lot cooler .

Please upgrade Blinky to v0.8 in the next Puppy (1.0.9 / 109 / 200 or whatever name it shall get ), thanks!

Thank you, lior2b.

When using previous version of Blinky I tried to change the background color to:

Code:

blinky -bg "#EEDFCC"

but it stays gray.

I tried Blinky 0.8 in Puppy2a-11apr06 and it solved the problem.
I mentioned the solution in Puppy developer forum:

There hasn't been an official resolution to the issue of which window manager will be used, but in order to make some progress we're moving forward with JWM. As of right now it's version 1.4 with Blinky 0.8 but JWM may get the upgrade as well. I've been rereading through a bunch of posts (many of Lior2b's) and working to improve the default configuration first.

I got a request, if Blinky can be used in Icewm-ultra.
It required only a slight modification, to run as "eggtrayicon" instead of as Gtkwindow.
This trayicon now can be used in all windowmanagers supporting trayicons (KDE, Fluxbox etc.).
Just 4 lines in blinky.c were changed.

I compiled it in Puppy 2.10, tell me if it does not work in older ones, then I will recompile in Puppy 108.

Hi Mark,

Tried to run Blinky as suggested but it doesn't want to play. I'm using Puppy 2.02CE.

which folder / file/ location do I change blinky's background colour? , any examples?
I would like to have it black in colour. I've already spent hours trying to get it coloured .

You pass the parameter to blinky in startup as follows:

Code:

sleep 3 && /root/my-applications/blinky-0.8/blinky -bg "#ffffff" &

That's from memory but you get the point. Use the -bg to set the background to the following color code._________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!
